Kyle, Heather and the girls went back to the beach to go kayaking and boogie boarding again today.
Carlos, Megan, Roger and I walked around the National Park. It is the pride of Costa Rica and a beautiful rain forest/jungle with boardwalks and nice sidewalks throughout the area. We saw plenty of wildlife: sloths, toucans, monkeys, lizards, blue crabs, deer and varied plants and trees. There are three lovely beaches within the park so many bring their bathing suits and cool off in the ocean after touring. This is the first place that resembled Mexico - we had to run the gauntlet through all the souvenir shops to get to the park entrance! After a stop for guacamole, chips and cold beer we recuperated enough to do some shopping and go to lunch!

| We called these "plunger mushrooms" |
 |
| The roots of these trees look like fins! |
 |
| Bright blue crabs were plentiful |
 |
| This sloth is just "hanging in there" |
 |
| I went to take a picture of one monkey and the second came up and gave him a hug! |
 |
| Lots of lizards! |
 |
This is a termite nest - believe it or not we saw several that were huge!
Emily loved the elephant pattern in this sarong I bought her - she's going to use it as a tapestry in her room!
Her stuffed sloth is a snap bracelet!
